2 Tips on how to study Use your notes. If you have been organized with your notes this past year, it should be no problem for you to locate your class and homework notes. None of the terms/concepts that follow are new; they are all taken straight from the original terms sheets. Don t work alone. Work with a friend or form a study group (maximum four students is recommended). Sharing brainpower this way is a good idea; copying off the smartest student is not. Work as a group by dividing up responsibilities for different terms from different units. Don t panic about the triad. The triad is designed to be challenging. Triads are meant to push you to remember and analyze major themes and developments from this past year. At first glance, the triads might seem utterly impossible to do. This is not true. Have some confidence and commit yourself to untangling them! Tackle them yourself first, before collaborating with others. You will recall information much better this way. Easy steps for dealing with the triads. (1.) Define each terms in your own words. Figure out what the main idea is behind each term. (2.) Brainstorm what the terms have in common, how they might be connected. Using your definitions as reference, jot down how and why the terms might be connected and related (events, time periods, units, etc.). What are the common themes? (3.) Draft a topic sentence for your triad. Draft an outline of the triad, include a topic sentence connecting and demonstrating the relationship and connection between/among the three terms. (4.) Read over what you have, and now, you are ready to go! The triad will be graded as follows: CONTENT FORM Does the writer know the meaning and significance of each term? Does the writer know and explain the relationship between the terms? Does the paragraph have a clear topic sentence? Does the body of the paragraph use specific evidence to support the topic sentence? Does the paragraph have a concluding sentence? Page 2 of 6
